"Is this city going to be demolished too, and the prisoners of war of the last general can help the adults finish it and then return to Qingtang......" took such a big advantage, Tsering Gongduo felt that he had to repay more.

This Lord Shuai Si likes to demolish the city to flat ground and rebuild it, and the good city of Liangzhou has been demolished, and the ruined city of Ganzhou can't get into the eyes of adults.

“…… You really forgot if you didn't mention the official, it is indeed necessary to demolish and rebuild, but the demolition of the city will not require such prisoners of war, how about the official taking the initiative to buy an estate for your brother here? ”

When it comes to Ganzhou City Hongtao, it does have some ideas, it is too far away from Huangzhou, and the cost of replenishment by the box fleet alone is a bit high, especially the lime with a large transportation weight, which is simply a waste of manpower and material resources.

What to do? The best way to do this is to produce some supplies on site, such as a lime kiln. However, the new army does not plan to keep too many manpower here, which will increase the difficulty of logistics and supply, and it is not very reliable to rely on the voluntary help of Qingtang soldiers alone, so they must be more proactive.

"It's up to the adults...... When Lord Xiluosa left, he told the last general that he would serve the adults as he did when he was in the special forces, and only obey the orders of the adults in everything. Tsering Gondo agreed 100% with this proposal, and did not ask what kind of industry it was, which was called sincerity.

"Your brother is getting better at talking, or you're getting better at talking. Regardless of whether these words are true or not, this official has the right to listen to the truth. Your brother accounts for half of this property, and the official accounts for half of it, and we will divide it equally between the two families if I make money, and I will lose money......"

Hong Tao almost believed it, mainly because Tsering Gongduo usually doesn't like to talk too much, and what a taciturn person says is often more credible.

"No one has any doubts about the fact that adults never trade at a loss!" Here it is again, Tsering Gongdo does not shoot or not, if you want to shoot it as a set, it is really a bit wilting out of the leopard.

"You are really a good soldier of this officer, and I hope that this friendship will last forever and will not be destroyed by power and money in the future. Tomorrow send someone to tear down the largest building in the city, transport all the timber to the south bank of the Shandan River, and then go to the nearby mountain with this kind of stone, the more the better. This official teaches you a craft, how to burn the lime used to build Liangzhou City. ”

Even if he knew that this was a sycophant, Hong Tao couldn't help but feel a little complacent. Who doesn't want to listen to other people's praise, especially if what the other party says is still the truth.

In fact, no matter how happy Tsering Gong is, this lime kiln is to be built. In the future, it is only necessary to pull the iron slag ground into powder from Huangzhou, and mix it with the calcined clinker in Ganzhou to produce the original lime.

In-situ firing and in-situ consumption, saving most of the transportation capacity, is more cost-effective. Not only Ganzhou needs to use lime, but also Suzhou and Guazhou.

Speaking of Suzhou, it is only more than 500 miles away from Ganzhou, and it is estimated that there will not be too many defenders. The more than 20,000 regular soldiers and more than 20,000 bearers under the command of the Gansu Military Department were originally stationed in the two prefectures of Gansu.

In the battle of Liangzhou, the Gansu military division had already been killed and wounded, and it could not be replenished in time, even if he did not come, sooner or later he would have to let the Tibetan tribes in the south, as well as the yellow-headed Uighurs and grass-headed Tatars, occupy it.

The Tibetan ethnic groups will not be introduced, Dong Yu and Xiluosa are two of them, and the Song people call them Hehuang Tubo or Qingtang Tubo. To the west and south of them, there are at least dozens of tribal forces, large and small.

In addition to Tibet, there are two major forces, the Yellow-headed Tatars and the Yellow-headed Uighurs, at the southern foot of the western section of the Qilian Mountains, who have always been eyeing the Hexi Corridor, a narrow strip of water and grass. It's just that he didn't fight in Western Xia, so he had to retreat to the Qilian Mountain area.

The Uighurs were the ancestors of the Uyghurs, the largest of whom settled in the area of Xinjiang in later generations, and were called the Western Uighurs or the Western Regions Uighurs.

The Yellow Uighurs were also a branch of the Uighurs of the Western Regions, but they had previously been ruled by the Tibetans and lived entirely in two different areas from the Western Uighurs, and gradually became reluctant to leave the land, from the east of Qinghai Lake to the west of the Qaidam Basin.

The yellow-headed Tatars had a smaller territory and were a looser tribal confederation, also known as the Nine Tatars. As for why they are called yellow-headed Uighurs and yellow-headed Tatars, this may have something to do with the habits of the ancients. For example, Genghis Khan's Mongol tribe was called Black Tatar, and the Wangu tribe was called White Tatar.

Suzhou's geographical location is hundreds of miles north of the Yellow-headed Uighurs and Yellow-headed Tatars, and they have always coveted the Hexi Corridor, as long as the Western Xia shows fatigue, the first to attack the Great Song Dynasty will not be the turn of the two forces, these two forces will pounce on Suzhou and Ganzhou, and even the city of Liangzhou is also in their plan.

Hong Tao did not yet have the strength to deal with the Western Xia, the Yellow Uighurs, and the Yellow Tatars at the same time, so he did not want to go west immediately, and first held Ganzhou and Liangzhou, so that the Western Xia court could effectively supply the Xiping Military Division stationed in Guazhou, and then spread the news from the Qingtang Division.

Then, just wait for the yellow-headed Uighurs and the yellow-headed Tatars to go to the trouble of the Xiping Military Division. No matter who wins on both sides, it will not be harmful to Hong Tao, at least one enemy will be eliminated, and the remaining one will be much easier to deal with.

During this period, Xirosa will not be idle, he will take the rockets he gave him to the west, and fight all the way to the border of the Yellow Uighurs, when he will have to deal with only one Yellow Tatar.

Even if the Yellow-headed Uighurs liked the Hexi Corridor, they would not choose to be enemies at the same time as the Great Song Dynasty and the Tibetans, as long as they ceded the southern foothills of the Qilian Mountains and no longer posed much of a threat to the Hexi Corridor region, they could continue to live their lives.

Yellow-headed Tatar, Hong Tao can only say I'm sorry. There are only two roads in front of them, or they will move as their clans, go wherever they like, and don't stand in the way of their westward journey anyway. Otherwise, they will be wiped out by rockets, and the rest of the clan will be sold as slaves to farm south of the Yangtze River.

In fact, even if Hong Tao wanted to go west, he had no chance, and less than ten days after the capture of Ganzhou, the holy decree came, and the urgent foot of the front division of the palace sent the order from the Kaifeng Imperial Palace to the camp of the new army in Ganzhou at a speed of four or five hundred miles a day.

"Are you sure this is the gold medal?" Hong Tao took the holy decree and did not open it immediately, as if the Song Dynasty did not kneel down to receive the holy decree and chant long live. What interested him was the three forbidden army officers, who actually said that it was a gold medal in a hurry.

"Even if the last general has the audacity, he won't dare to tell half a lie!" These three messengers are almost paralyzed by fright, and now the horse Wang Shu is already notorious, in the version circulating in Kaifeng said that he killed people like hemp, no need to offend, just pull out and cut down immediately if he was unhappy, and the corpse had to be hung on a high pole to dry.

"I'll just say, if it's so big, if it's so heavy, if it's real gold, I'll give twelve dollars, and the official will immediately go back to Kaifeng, just don't do this bad errand!"

Hong Tao did not call for someone to cut down the three messengers, but took the wooden gold medal that represented the fastest transmission speed of the Great Song Dynasty in his hand, and returned to the handsome case with a muttering voice, and unfolded the holy decree in his hand.

"Please go down and rest first, and then ask the general to return to Your Majesty after the official has finished writing the recital." The speed of watching is very fast, and it is estimated that it will only take more than ten seconds Hong Tao raised his head, and he was a little too polite.

"Read it to the official......" waited for the messenger to make a big tent, and then Hong Tao put away the smile on his face and threw the holy decree into Wang Da's arms. It's fast, and most of the time I can't understand it.

The content of the decree is very simple, Emperor Shenzong first praised his brother-in-law as Huo Quai, and then said that the eldest princess and the emperor's niece were in good health, and they were looking forward to the victory of the horse and return to Chaoyunyun. The last sentence mentions the future arrangement, which can be summed up in four words: stand by now!

"Now it's down-to-earth, Erlang, you go to Huangzhou City to take a few masters to Liangzhou, let them bring the most powerful apprentices, and say that this official wants to build a Wujin line in Liangzhou. Wang Qi, you take 300 new troops and 2,000 Qingtang soldiers to garrison Ganzhou, the mining of lime mines and the construction of lime kilns must not be delayed, and in a few days your Grandpa Peng's apprentices will come here to build water mills and water mills, and take time to clean up the surroundings. Old man, pass the order, tomorrow the army will go to Shandan, by the way, sweep all the villages and towns and camps you know, and let's grab something and go back to Liangzhou for the winter! ”

Originally, Hong Tao was still thinking about how to explain to his subordinates the decision not to continue westward, which saved trouble, and Emperor Shenzong's holy decree was the most reasonable excuse.
